Now you have to know a little bit of the background of the story, although i'm gonna
00:00:29.452 --> 00:00:30.453
A little bit of the background of the story, although i'm gonna get into it more in detail later
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:32.122
On but abram had a promise
00:00:32.188 --> 00:00:36.659
On but abram had a promise from god that he was
00:00:36.726 --> 00:00:37.393
On but abram had a promise from god that he was gonna have a child.
00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:38.862
From god that he was gonna have a child. only problem was, sarah
00:00:38.928 --> 00:00:40.096
Gonna have a child. only problem was, sarah and abram were both way too old
00:00:40.163 --> 00:00:41.431
Only problem was, sarah and abram were both way too old to have children.
00:00:41.498 --> 00:00:44.234
And abram were both way too old to have children. and so, i mean, it was not
00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:46.469
To have children. and so, i mean, it was not humanly possible without
00:00:46.536 --> 00:00:48.404
And so, i mean, it was not humanly possible without a miracle.
00:00:48.471 --> 00:00:49.072
Humanly possible without a miracle. and so they were tired
00:00:49.139 --> 00:00:50.573
Of waiting.

00:00:58.348 --> 00:00:59.816

00:04:15.545 --> 00:04:16.546
Dad sexually and i just married the first guy that came along that showed any interest
00:04:16.612 --> 00:04:17.347
The first guy that came along that showed any interest in me and, i mean, i was not
00:04:17.413 --> 00:04:19.048
That showed any interest in me and, i mean, i was not even an active christian.
00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:22.618
In me and, i mean, i was not even an active christian. i'd been saved when i was

Even an active christian. i'd been saved when i was a child but i was not walking
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:24.987
I'd been saved when i was a child but i was not walking with god and i knew,

With god and i knew, i knew what i was doing was not gonna turn out good but i was
00:04:29.025 --> 00:04:30.126

Desperate that nobody would ever want me so, i grabbed what i could and it turned out
00:04:32.428 --> 00:04:34.931
Ever want me so, i grabbed what i could and it turned out to be a 5-year nightmare
00:04:34.997 --> 00:04:36.065
What i could and it turned out to be a 5-year nightmare on top of already having
00:04:36.132 --> 00:04:37.367

00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:05.975
"i want to read my bible and i want to study it. but it seems like something
00:13:06.041 --> 00:13:07.343
And i want to study it. but it seems like something always gets in the way."

But it seems like something always gets in the way." isn't that the case.
00:13:08.878 --> 00:13:09.612
Always gets in the way." isn't that the case. "and then i feel so bad
00:13:09.678 --> 00:13:11.080

>> joyce: well, i think that we have to realize,
00:13:18.387 --> 00:13:20.089
>> joyce: well, i think that we have to realize, number one, that satan
00:13:20.155 --> 00:13:21.257
That we have to realize, number one, that satan despises it when you
00:13:21.323 --> 00:13:22.858
Number one, that satan despises it when you study the word.
00:13:22.925 --> 00:13:24.159
Despises it when you study the word. so, he is going to cause

>> joyce: just everything. i mean, you can even-- like i remember when i used to,
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.375
I mean, you can even-- like i remember when i used to, i'd try to study, and i'd start
00:13:39.441 --> 00:13:41.510
Like i remember when i used to, i'd try to study, and i'd start to itch different places.
00:13:41.577 --> 00:13:42.511

But you have to form a new habit.
00:13:47.449 --> 00:13:50.019
But you have to form a new habit. and this is pretty radical,
00:13:50.085 --> 00:13:51.420
To form a new habit. and this is pretty radical, but i heard one minister say
00:13:51.487 --> 00:13:52.988
And this is pretty radical, but i heard one minister say that he had such a hard time
00:13:53.055 --> 00:13:55.724

Morning when he would try to spend time with god, that he actually started
00:14:00.462 --> 00:14:01.530

00:14:01.597 --> 00:14:02.464
That he actually started standing on the edge of the bathtub and reading
00:14:02.531 --> 00:14:03.799
Standing on the edge of the bathtub and reading the word out loud,
00:14:03.866 --> 00:14:04.600
Of the bathtub and reading the word out loud, so if he fell, he knew he was
00:14:04.667 --> 00:14:05.834
The word out loud, so if he fell, he knew he was gonna hurt himself.
00:14:05.901 --> 00:14:06.802
So if he fell, he knew he was gonna hurt himself. [laughing]
00:14:06.869 --> 00:14:07.436

>> joyce: that's dedication. but, you know, really, here's the bottom line,
00:14:11.206 --> 00:14:13.108
But, you know, really, here's the bottom line, if we really want
00:14:13.175 --> 00:14:14.643
Here's the bottom line, if we really want to do something, we will.
00:14:14.710 --> 00:14:16.979
If we really want to do something, we will. that's one thing i've learned.
00:14:17.046 --> 00:14:18.147
To do something, we will. that's one thing i've learned. if i really want
00:14:18.213 --> 00:14:19.181
That's one thing i've learned. if i really want to do something, i will.
00:14:19.248 --> 00:14:20.883
If i really want to do something, i will. and so, it is so important
00:14:20.950 --> 00:14:24.920
To do something, i will. and so, it is so important to make god the number
00:14:24.987 --> 00:14:27.623
And so, it is so important to make god the number one priority in your life,
00:14:27.690 --> 00:14:29.358
To make god the number one priority in your life, because that's one thing
00:14:29.425 --> 00:14:30.859
One priority in your life, because that's one thing that he says is to put
00:14:30.926 --> 00:14:32.461
Because that's one thing that he says is to put nothing before him.
00:14:32.528 --> 00:14:34.029
That he says is to put nothing before him. and so, you know,
00:14:34.096 --> 00:14:36.699
Nothing before him. and so, you know, maybe reading the word
00:14:36.765 --> 00:14:38.334
And so, you know, maybe reading the word out loud would help,
00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:40.102
Maybe reading the word out loud would help, sometimes that keeps
00:14:40.169 --> 00:14:42.404
Out loud would help, sometimes that keeps you awake and keeps you
00:14:42.471 --> 00:14:43.806
Sometimes that keeps you awake and keeps you a little more interested.
00:14:43.872 --> 00:14:46.008
You awake and keeps you a little more interested. but--
00:14:46.075 --> 00:14:46.642
A little more interested. but-- >> ginger: that's good.
00:14:46.709 --> 00:14:47.343
But-- >> ginger: that's good. for me, writing it down
00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:48.344
>> ginger: that's good. for me, writing it down helps too.
00:14:48.410 --> 00:14:48.978
For me, writing it down helps too. >> joyce: yeah, writing.
00:14:49.044 --> 00:14:49.645
Helps too. >> joyce: yeah, writing. >> ginger: something about
00:14:49.712 --> 00:14:50.279
>> joyce: yeah, writing. >> ginger: something about the process of writing.
00:14:50.346 --> 00:14:51.380
>> ginger: something about the process of writing. >> joyce: i love,
00:14:51.447 --> 00:14:52.147
The process of writing. >> joyce: i love, especially if i'm trying
00:14:52.214 --> 00:14:53.415
>> joyce: i love, especially if i'm trying to focus on one scripture,
00:14:53.482 --> 00:14:57.453
Especially if i'm trying to focus on one scripture, you know, like if i'm having
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.989
To focus on one scripture, you know, like if i'm having a big bout of worry,
00:15:00.055 --> 00:15:01.623
You know, like if i'm having a big bout of worry, i might write out
00:15:01.690 --> 00:15:02.858
A big bout of worry, i might write out philippians 4:6 and 7.
00:15:02.925 --> 00:15:04.593
I might write out philippians 4:6 and 7. i agree with you that
00:15:04.660 --> 00:15:05.861
Philippians 4:6 and 7. i agree with you that writing things out is good.
00:15:05.928 --> 00:15:08.464
I agree with you that writing things out is good. and i know the computer
00:15:08.530 --> 00:15:09.465
Writing things out is good. and i know the computer is good and a lot of people use
00:15:09.531 --> 00:15:10.733
And i know the computer is good and a lot of people use the computer today and i've kept
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.267
Is good and a lot of people use the computer today and i've kept a journal for years and years
00:15:12.334 --> 00:15:13.569
The computer today and i've kept a journal for years and years and years and i do it by hand.
00:15:13.635 --> 00:15:15.671
A journal for years and years and years and i do it by hand. and i thought earlier this year,
00:15:15.738 --> 00:15:17.406
And years and i do it by hand. and i thought earlier this year, i thought, you know--
00:15:17.473 --> 00:15:18.040
And i thought earlier this year, i thought, you know-- or last year, i thought,
00:15:18.107 --> 00:15:19.174
I thought, you know-- or last year, i thought, "i'm gonna start using
00:15:19.241 --> 00:15:20.109
Or last year, i thought, "i'm gonna start using the computer that'll
00:15:20.175 --> 00:15:20.843
"i'm gonna start using the computer that'll be so much faster."
00:15:20.909 --> 00:15:22.244
The computer that'll be so much faster." and i just didn't enjoy
00:15:22.311 --> 00:15:23.512
Be so much faster." and i just didn't enjoy it nearly as much.
00:15:23.579 --> 00:15:24.413
And i just didn't enjoy it nearly as much. and so, i just went back to,
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.848
It nearly as much. and so, i just went back to, to handwriting it.
00:15:25.914 --> 00:15:26.982
And so, i just went back to, to handwriting it. it takes longer, but i like it.
00:15:27.049 --> 00:15:29.284
To handwriting it. it takes longer, but i like it. >> ginger: well,
00:15:29.351 --> 00:15:29.918
It takes longer, but i like it. >> ginger: well, and the wonderful thing
00:15:29.985 --> 00:15:30.586
>> ginger: well, and the wonderful thing about doing this is finding
00:15:30.652 --> 00:15:32.187
And the wonderful thing about doing this is finding what works for you.
00:15:32.254 --> 00:15:33.455
About doing this is finding what works for you. if you try something
00:15:33.522 --> 00:15:35.290
What works for you. if you try something and it's not going great,
00:15:35.357 --> 00:15:36.225
If you try something and it's not going great, try something different,
00:15:36.291 --> 00:15:37.159
And it's not going great, try something different, but don't give up.
00:15:37.226 --> 00:15:38.427
Try something different, but don't give up. all right, here's another
00:15:38.494 --> 00:15:39.261
But don't give up. all right, here's another question from carrie
00:15:39.328 --> 00:15:40.662
All right, here's another question from carrie and i think a lot of people
00:15:40.729 --> 00:15:41.663
Question from carrie and i think a lot of people can relate to this,
00:15:41.730 --> 00:15:42.464
And i think a lot of people can relate to this, "my husband is so concerned
00:15:42.531 --> 00:15:44.266
Can relate to this, "my husband is so concerned about the world today
00:15:44.333 --> 00:15:45.267
"my husband is so concerned about the world today and what's going on,
00:15:45.334 --> 00:15:46.168
About the world today and what's going on, and i think he's kind
00:15:46.235 --> 00:15:47.002
And what's going on, and i think he's kind of freaking out.
00:15:47.069 --> 00:15:48.570
And i think he's kind of freaking out. how do i help him see
00:15:48.637 --> 00:15:49.505
Of freaking out. how do i help him see the promises in god's
00:15:49.571 --> 00:15:50.639
How do i help him see the promises in god's word for us during these
00:15:50.706 --> 00:15:52.107
The promises in god's word for us during these confusing and stressful times?"
00:15:52.174 --> 00:15:54.443
Word for us during these confusing and stressful times?" >> joyce: well,
00:15:54.510 --> 00:15:54.910
Confusing and stressful times?" >> joyce: well, one of the things that
00:15:54.977 --> 00:15:55.677
>> joyce: well, one of the things that i like to always remember,
00:15:55.744 --> 00:15:56.412
One of the things that i like to always remember, ginger, is that i wasn't born
00:15:56.478 --> 00:15:59.081
I like to always remember, ginger, is that i wasn't born in this time frame,
00:15:59.148 --> 00:16:00.783
Ginger, is that i wasn't born in this time frame, and neither were you,
00:16:00.849 --> 00:16:01.984
In this time frame, and neither were you, accidentally.
00:16:02.051 --> 00:16:03.652
And neither were you, accidentally. god chooses the time
00:16:03.719 --> 00:16:06.455
Accidentally. god chooses the time we're gonna be born in,
00:16:06.522 --> 00:16:08.023
God chooses the time we're gonna be born in, and he equips
00:16:08.090 --> 00:16:08.891
We're gonna be born in, and he equips us to be able to deal
00:16:08.957 --> 00:16:11.593
And he equips us to be able to deal with whatever's going on.
00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:13.262
Us to be able to deal with whatever's going on. and, you know, part of helping
00:16:13.328 --> 00:16:17.299
With whatever's going on. and, you know, part of helping her husband is we need
00:16:17.366 --> 00:16:19.234
And, you know, part of helping her husband is we need to know how much faith
00:16:19.301 --> 00:16:20.135
Her husband is we need to know how much faith he has in god to start with.
00:16:20.202 --> 00:16:22.004
To know how much faith he has in god to start with. you know, if he really
00:16:22.071 --> 00:16:23.505
He has in god to start with. you know, if he really doesn't have much
00:16:23.572 --> 00:16:24.239
You know, if he really doesn't have much of a relationship with god,
00:16:24.306 --> 00:16:25.474
Doesn't have much of a relationship with god, it's gonna be harder to convince
00:16:25.541 --> 00:16:26.875
Of a relationship with god, it's gonna be harder to convince him that the promises
00:16:26.942 --> 00:16:27.843
It's gonna be harder to convince him that the promises in god's word are gonna work.
00:16:27.910 --> 00:16:30.279
Him that the promises in god's word are gonna work. but i've kinda gotten
00:16:30.345 --> 00:16:31.246
In god's word are gonna work. but i've kinda gotten to the point where,
00:16:31.313 --> 00:16:31.980
But i've kinda gotten to the point where, and i don't mean this
00:16:32.047 --> 00:16:33.115
To the point where, and i don't mean this to sound disrespectful
00:16:33.182 --> 00:16:34.383
And i don't mean this to sound disrespectful at all but give god a try.
00:16:34.450 --> 00:16:37.686
To sound disrespectful at all but give god a try. i mean, you know,
00:16:37.753 --> 00:16:39.288
At all but give god a try. i mean, you know, if you--
00:16:39.354 --> 00:16:41.023
I mean, you know, if you-- i mean, if somebody told you,
00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:43.459
If you-- i mean, if somebody told you, you know, i made--
00:16:43.525 --> 00:16:46.395
I mean, if somebody told you, you know, i made-- "i invested in so-and-so
00:16:46.462 --> 00:16:47.863
You know, i made-- "i invested in so-and-so and i made a 50% profit,
00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:50.299
"i invested in so-and-so and i made a 50% profit, you ought to give it a try."
00:16:50.365 --> 00:16:51.333
And i made a 50% profit, you ought to give it a try." you wouldn't hesitate at all.
00:16:51.400 --> 00:16:53.102
You ought to give it a try." you wouldn't hesitate at all. and so, i'm telling you that
00:16:53.168 --> 00:16:55.137
You wouldn't hesitate at all. and so, i'm telling you that god's word and my relationship
00:16:55.204 --> 00:16:57.673
And so, i'm telling you that god's word and my relationship with him has literally
00:16:57.739 --> 00:16:59.541
God's word and my relationship with him has literally changed my life.
00:16:59.608 --> 00:17:01.043
With him has literally changed my life. it has saved my life
00:17:01.110 --> 00:17:02.578
Changed my life. it has saved my life and changed my life.
00:17:02.644 --> 00:17:04.113
It has saved my life and changed my life. and so, try it.
00:17:04.179 --> 00:17:06.482
And changed my life. and so, try it. >> ginger: and her being
00:17:06.548 --> 00:17:07.249
And so, try it. >> ginger: and her being that living example that
00:17:07.316 --> 00:17:08.383
>> ginger: and her being that living example that he sees when she has peace,
00:17:08.450 --> 00:17:10.052
That living example that he sees when she has peace, when it doesn't make sense.
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.787
He sees when she has peace, when it doesn't make sense. all those things
00:17:11.854 --> 00:17:12.488
When it doesn't make sense. all those things that god gives us.
00:17:12.554 --> 00:17:13.722
>> joyce: that is important.
00:17:14.356 --> 00:17:15.190
>> joyce: that is important. sometimes talking to people
00:17:15.257 --> 00:17:17.159
>> joyce: that is important. sometimes talking to people is useless and it is better
00:17:17.226 --> 00:17:20.095
Sometimes talking to people is useless and it is better almost to give them an example.
00:17:20.162 --> 00:17:22.297
Is useless and it is better almost to give them an example. i know, for me,
00:17:22.364 --> 00:17:23.966
Almost to give them an example. i know, for me, i really didn't know
00:17:24.032 --> 00:17:25.033
I know, for me, i really didn't know anything about peace.
00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:26.168
I really didn't know anything about peace. i just--i grew up in a house
00:17:26.235 --> 00:17:27.636
Anything about peace. i just--i grew up in a house of turmoil and i didn't
00:17:27.703 --> 00:17:28.871
I just--i grew up in a house of turmoil and i didn't know how to have peace.
00:17:28.937 --> 00:17:30.439
Of turmoil and i didn't know how to have peace. and after dave
00:17:30.506 --> 00:17:31.440
Know how to have peace. and after dave and i got married,
00:17:31.507 --> 00:17:32.941
And after dave and i got married, i watched him for several
00:17:33.008 --> 00:17:35.544
And i got married, i watched him for several years just be so peaceful
00:17:35.611 --> 00:17:37.746
I watched him for several years just be so peaceful when we would have problems.
00:17:37.813 --> 00:17:39.047
Years just be so peaceful when we would have problems. and i was the one that was
00:17:39.114 --> 00:17:40.082
When we would have problems. and i was the one that was always like, "aah!"
00:17:40.149 --> 00:17:41.283
And i was the one that was always like, "aah!" you know, upset all the time.
00:17:41.350 --> 00:17:42.484
Always like, "aah!" you know, upset all the time. and we would get an answer
00:17:42.551 --> 00:17:45.754
And here i wasted all this time
00:17:45.821 --> 00:17:47.589
And here i wasted all this time being upset and he enjoyed
00:17:47.656 --> 00:17:49.658
And here i wasted all this time being upset and he enjoyed his life while he was waiting
00:17:49.725 --> 00:17:51.460
Being upset and he enjoyed his life while he was waiting on god to come through.
00:17:51.527 --> 00:17:52.895
His life while he was waiting on god to come through. and that really did become
00:17:52.961 --> 00:17:54.630
On god to come through. and that really did become a real example to me that
00:17:54.696 --> 00:17:57.399
And that really did become a real example to me that if he can have this,
00:17:57.466 --> 00:17:58.333
A real example to me that if he can have this, i can have this too.
00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:59.535
If he can have this, i can have this too. >> ginger: yeah, yeah,
00:17:59.601 --> 00:18:00.202
I can have this too. >> ginger: yeah, yeah, that's great.
00:18:00.269 --> 00:18:01.303
>> ginger: yeah, yeah, that's great. okay, susan asks this,
00:18:01.370 --> 00:18:03.005
That's great. okay, susan asks this, "i hear people talk about
00:18:03.071 --> 00:18:04.139
Okay, susan asks this, "i hear people talk about meditation all the time,
00:18:04.206 --> 00:18:05.541
"i hear people talk about meditation all the time, but what does it mean
00:18:05.607 --> 00:18:06.675
Meditation all the time, but what does it mean to meditate on the word of god?
00:18:06.742 --> 00:18:08.577
But what does it mean to meditate on the word of god? and how do i do that?"
00:18:08.644 --> 00:18:09.711
To meditate on the word of god? and how do i do that?" >> joyce: well, if you
00:18:09.778 --> 00:18:10.445
And how do i do that?" >> joyce: well, if you know how to worry,
00:18:10.512 --> 00:18:11.113
>> joyce: well, if you know how to worry, you know how to meditate.
00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:12.514
Know how to worry, you know how to meditate. >> ginger: [laughs]
00:18:12.581 --> 00:18:13.048
You know how to meditate. >> ginger: [laughs] we are always meditating,
00:18:13.115 --> 00:18:14.249
>> ginger: [laughs] we are always meditating, aren't we, on something?
00:18:14.316 --> 00:18:14.850
We are always meditating, aren't we, on something? >> joyce: because meditation
00:18:14.917 --> 00:18:16.018
Aren't we, on something? >> joyce: because meditation just means to roll something
00:18:16.084 --> 00:18:17.786
>> joyce: because meditation just means to roll something over and over in your
00:18:17.853 --> 00:18:18.887
Just means to roll something over and over in your mind and to even mutter
00:18:18.954 --> 00:18:21.390
Over and over in your mind and to even mutter it softly out of your mouth.
00:18:21.456 --> 00:18:25.294
Mind and to even mutter it softly out of your mouth. and so that's what
00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:26.528
It softly out of your mouth. and so that's what meditation is, it's not some
00:18:26.595 --> 00:18:28.063
And so that's what meditation is, it's not some kind of a weird, you know,
00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:30.232
Meditation is, it's not some kind of a weird, you know, mysterious thing that we do.
00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:32.000
Kind of a weird, you know, mysterious thing that we do. it just has to do with
00:18:32.067 --> 00:18:33.602
Mysterious thing that we do. it just has to do with your thinking.
00:18:33.669 --> 00:18:34.269
It just has to do with your thinking. and, you know, like--
00:18:34.336 --> 00:18:35.671
Your thinking. and, you know, like-- i mean, i might during the day,
00:18:35.737 --> 00:18:38.607
And, you know, like-- i mean, i might during the day, i might just quote a scripture
00:18:38.674 --> 00:18:41.143
I mean, i might during the day, i might just quote a scripture that comes to my mind.
00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:42.377
You know, the bible says
00:18:42.711 --> 00:18:43.478
You know, the bible says that the holy spirit will bring
00:18:43.545 --> 00:18:46.348
You know, the bible says that the holy spirit will bring things to our remembrance.
00:18:46.415 --> 00:18:48.283
That the holy spirit will bring things to our remembrance. and so i believe that once
00:18:48.350 --> 00:18:50.586
Things to our remembrance. and so i believe that once you develop a relationship
00:18:50.652 --> 00:18:51.787
And so i believe that once you develop a relationship with god and you--
00:18:51.853 --> 00:18:53.222
You know the holy spirit
00:18:53.288 --> 00:18:54.356
You know the holy spirit lives in you and you get
00:18:54.423 --> 00:18:55.691
You know the holy spirit lives in you and you get some word in you,
00:18:55.757 --> 00:18:57.292
Lives in you and you get some word in you, you can't expect it to come
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.227
Some word in you, you can't expect it to come out if you don't have it in you.
00:18:58.293 --> 00:18:59.661
You can't expect it to come out if you don't have it in you. but if you get it in you through
00:18:59.728 --> 00:19:02.464
Out if you don't have it in you. but if you get it in you through study and through bible study
00:19:02.531 --> 00:19:03.832
But if you get it in you through study and through bible study with other people,
00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:04.566
Study and through bible study with other people, through going to church,
00:19:04.633 --> 00:19:05.734
With other people, through going to church, through listening to teaching,
00:19:05.801 --> 00:19:07.769
Through going to church, through listening to teaching, you know, many different ways.
00:19:07.836 --> 00:19:09.404
Through listening to teaching, you know, many different ways. thank god he's provided
00:19:09.471 --> 00:19:10.806
You know, many different ways. thank god he's provided so many ways for us to get
00:19:10.872 --> 00:19:13.008
Thank god he's provided so many ways for us to get the word in us.
00:19:13.075 --> 00:19:14.209
So many ways for us to get the word in us. i--for me, i find that
00:19:14.276 --> 00:19:15.644
The word in us. i--for me, i find that at different times,
00:19:15.711 --> 00:19:16.511
I--for me, i find that at different times, god'll just--
00:19:16.578 --> 00:19:17.446
A scripture will just come
00:19:18.213 --> 00:19:20.282
A scripture will just come to my remembrance and,
00:19:20.349 --> 00:19:21.783
A scripture will just come to my remembrance and, and i might just say,
00:19:21.850 --> 00:19:24.219
To my remembrance and, and i might just say, "god loves me,
00:19:24.286 --> 00:19:25.554
And i might just say, "god loves me, and i love him because
00:19:25.621 --> 00:19:26.688
"god loves me, and i love him because he first love me.
00:19:26.755 --> 00:19:27.589
And i love him because he first love me. he's filled me with his love,
00:19:27.656 --> 00:19:28.790
He first love me. he's filled me with his love, and i can love other people."
00:19:28.857 --> 00:19:31.059
He's filled me with his love, and i can love other people." and that's meditation.
00:19:31.126 --> 00:19:33.095
You know, it's thinking about
00:19:33.161 --> 00:19:34.496
You know, it's thinking about something, speaking it,
00:19:34.563 --> 00:19:36.999
You know, it's thinking about something, speaking it, muttering it softly.
00:19:37.065 --> 00:19:38.500
Something, speaking it, muttering it softly. and the more we do that,
00:19:38.567 --> 00:19:41.436
Muttering it softly. and the more we do that, the more of your time you
00:19:41.503 --> 00:19:42.904
And the more we do that, the more of your time you use doing that; you're happier,
00:19:42.971 --> 00:19:46.508
The more of your time you use doing that; you're happier, you're more peaceful,
00:19:46.575 --> 00:19:48.043
Use doing that; you're happier, you're more peaceful, you're more joyful,
00:19:48.110 --> 00:19:49.645
You're more peaceful, you're more joyful, and you have more
00:19:49.711 --> 00:19:51.413
You're more joyful, and you have more authority over satan,
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.348
And you have more authority over satan, who's our enemy,
00:19:53.415 --> 00:19:54.883
Authority over satan, who's our enemy, by using the word of god
00:19:54.950 --> 00:19:56.752
Who's our enemy, by using the word of god as a weapon against
00:19:56.818 --> 00:19:57.786
By using the word of god as a weapon against him than anything else.
00:19:57.853 --> 00:19:59.154
As a weapon against him than anything else. >> ginger: yeah.
00:19:59.221 --> 00:19:59.788
Him than anything else. >> ginger: yeah. you're your book "overcoming
00:19:59.855 --> 00:20:00.822
>> ginger: yeah. you're your book "overcoming every problem" talks about
00:20:00.889 --> 00:20:02.324
You're your book "overcoming every problem" talks about specifically 40 things
00:20:02.391 --> 00:20:04.026
Every problem" talks about specifically 40 things that the word of god gives us.
00:20:04.092 --> 00:20:06.395
Specifically 40 things that the word of god gives us. what are some
00:20:06.461 --> 00:20:07.029
That the word of god gives us. what are some of those 40 things?
00:20:07.095 --> 00:20:08.730
>> joyce: well--
00:20:09.131 --> 00:20:09.531
>> joyce: well-- >> ginger: we don't have
00:20:09.598 --> 00:20:10.265
>> joyce: well-- >> ginger: we don't have time to go into all 40,
00:20:10.332 --> 00:20:11.133
>> ginger: we don't have time to go into all 40, but there are just
00:20:11.199 --> 00:20:11.700
Time to go into all 40, but there are just so many great things.
00:20:11.767 --> 00:20:12.301
But there are just so many great things. >> joyce: well,
00:20:12.367 --> 00:20:12.734
So many great things. >> joyce: well, for one thing like,
00:20:12.801 --> 00:20:13.335
>> joyce: well, for one thing like, "all things work together
00:20:13.402 --> 00:20:14.603
For one thing like, "all things work together for good to those who
00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:15.470
"all things work together for good to those who love god and are called
00:20:15.537 --> 00:20:16.405
For good to those who love god and are called according to his purpose."
00:20:16.471 --> 00:20:18.106
Love god and are called according to his purpose." i--you know...

According to his purpose." i--you know... [chuckling]
00:20:19.174 --> 00:20:19.841
The other morning, i was

The other morning, i was kind of surprised at myself.
00:20:21.276 --> 00:20:22.577
The other morning, i was kind of surprised at myself. i have a coffeemaker that
00:20:22.644 --> 00:20:25.747
Kind of surprised at myself. i have a coffeemaker that has a cylinder on the
00:20:25.814 --> 00:20:26.748
I have a coffeemaker that has a cylinder on the back of it that you
00:20:26.815 --> 00:20:27.482
Has a cylinder on the back of it that you fill up with water.
00:20:27.549 --> 00:20:28.884
Back of it that you fill up with water. and i picked it up
00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:31.520
Fill up with water. and i picked it up and i dropped it.
00:20:31.586 --> 00:20:33.322
And i picked it up and i dropped it. okay, it's 4:30 in the morning,

And i just said, "thank you, lord. all things work
00:20:44.166 --> 00:20:45.033
"thank you, lord. all things work together for good."
00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:45.934
All things work together for good." i went and got my rags

Together for good." i went and got my rags and i cleaned it up.
00:20:49.104 --> 00:20:49.971
I went and got my rags and i cleaned it up. and i can remember when
00:20:50.038 --> 00:20:51.440
And i cleaned it up. and i can remember when i would have had an all-out fit,
00:20:51.506 --> 00:20:53.508
And i can remember when i would have had an all-out fit, "well, for crying out loud,
00:20:53.575 --> 00:20:54.843
I would have had an all-out fit, "well, for crying out loud, you get up, wanna study
00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:55.944
"well, for crying out loud, you get up, wanna study god's word and just
00:20:56.011 --> 00:20:56.712
You get up, wanna study god's word and just have a cup of coffee
00:20:56.778 --> 00:20:57.479
God's word and just have a cup of coffee and nothing ever goes right!"
00:20:57.546 --> 00:20:59.114
Have a cup of coffee and nothing ever goes right!" you know, everything goes--
00:20:59.181 --> 00:21:00.248
And nothing ever goes right!" you know, everything goes-- >> ginger: [laughs]
00:21:00.315 --> 00:21:01.116
You know, everything goes-- >> ginger: [laughs] >> joyce: and i'm like,
00:21:01.183 --> 00:21:01.883
>> ginger: [laughs] >> joyce: and i'm like, "man, god has changed me."
00:21:01.950 --> 00:21:02.884
>> joyce: and i'm like, "man, god has changed me." and that just came out of me.
00:21:02.951 --> 00:21:04.920
"man, god has changed me." and that just came out of me. well, how's it gonna
00:21:04.986 --> 00:21:05.921
And that just came out of me. well, how's it gonna work out good,
00:21:05.987 --> 00:21:07.756
Well, how's it gonna work out good, if you throw water
00:21:07.823 --> 00:21:08.457
Work out good, if you throw water all over the floor
00:21:08.523 --> 00:21:09.157
If you throw water all over the floor at 4:30 in the morning?
00:21:09.224 --> 00:21:10.392
I don't know, but that's what
00:21:10.726 --> 00:21:11.593
I don't know, but that's what came out of me because
00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:13.195
I don't know, but that's what came out of me because that's what's in me.
00:21:13.261 --> 00:21:14.196
Came out of me because that's what's in me. so, that's one of the things.
00:21:14.262 --> 00:21:15.964
That's what's in me. so, that's one of the things. "god will meet all your needs
00:21:16.031 --> 00:21:17.332
So, that's one of the things. "god will meet all your needs according to his riches
00:21:17.399 --> 00:21:18.300
"god will meet all your needs according to his riches and glory by christ jesus."
00:21:18.367 --> 00:21:19.601
According to his riches and glory by christ jesus." you know, if we--
00:21:19.668 --> 00:21:20.702
And glory by christ jesus." you know, if we-- god asks us to give in faith,
00:21:20.769 --> 00:21:23.905
Not because he needs our money,
00:21:23.972 --> 00:21:25.640
Not because he needs our money, but it's a way that we show that
00:21:25.707 --> 00:21:27.242
Not because he needs our money, but it's a way that we show that we're trusting god financially.
00:21:27.309 --> 00:21:29.211
But it's a way that we show that we're trusting god financially. and so, we believe in tithing
00:21:29.277 --> 00:21:31.780
We're trusting god financially. and so, we believe in tithing and we give 10% of everything
00:21:31.847 --> 00:21:34.616
And so, we believe in tithing and we give 10% of everything that god gives us,
00:21:34.683 --> 00:21:36.184
And we give 10% of everything that god gives us, and he makes that 90% go much
00:21:36.251 --> 00:21:38.487
That god gives us, and he makes that 90% go much further than the 100% would of.
00:21:38.553 --> 00:21:42.491
And he makes that 90% go much further than the 100% would of. so, we trust--there's scriptures
00:21:42.557 --> 00:21:44.292
Further than the 100% would of. so, we trust--there's scriptures about trusting god.
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:45.560
I love psalm 37:3,
00:21:45.894 --> 00:21:48.497
I love psalm 37:3, "trust in the lord
00:21:48.563 --> 00:21:49.631
I love psalm 37:3, "trust in the lord and do good."
00:21:49.698 --> 00:21:50.632
"trust in the lord and do good." and it's actually
00:21:50.699 --> 00:21:51.333
And do good." and it's actually talking about times
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:52.434
And it's actually talking about times like we're living in today,
00:21:52.501 --> 00:21:53.869
Talking about times like we're living in today, "fret not yourself
00:21:53.935 --> 00:21:55.070
Like we're living in today, "fret not yourself over the evildoer.
00:21:55.137 --> 00:21:56.104
"fret not yourself over the evildoer. for he shall soon be cut
00:21:56.171 --> 00:21:57.439
Over the evildoer. for he shall soon be cut down like the grass.
00:21:57.506 --> 00:21:59.274
For he shall soon be cut down like the grass. trust in the lord and do good."
00:21:59.341 --> 00:22:02.077
Down like the grass. trust in the lord and do good." and i love that.
00:22:02.144 --> 00:22:03.211
Trust in the lord and do good." and i love that. it's not just "trust god,"
00:22:03.278 --> 00:22:05.280
But the greatest thing you can
00:22:05.347 --> 00:22:06.715
But the greatest thing you can do when you're having a problem
00:22:06.782 --> 00:22:08.583
But the greatest thing you can do when you're having a problem is to put your trust in god
00:22:08.650 --> 00:22:10.018
Do when you're having a problem is to put your trust in god and go help somebody else.
00:22:10.085 --> 00:22:12.687
Is to put your trust in god and go help somebody else. you're sowing a seed
00:22:12.754 --> 00:22:14.055
And go help somebody else. you're sowing a seed by helping somebody else,
00:22:14.122 --> 00:22:15.557
You're sowing a seed by helping somebody else, and then god will bring
00:22:15.624 --> 00:22:16.558
By helping somebody else, and then god will bring a harvest of your breakthrough.
00:22:16.625 --> 00:22:18.560
And then god will bring a harvest of your breakthrough. >> ginger: so, the first
00:22:18.627 --> 00:22:19.361
A harvest of your breakthrough. >> ginger: so, the first place to begin is to make sure
00:22:19.428 --> 00:22:21.329
>> ginger: so, the first place to begin is to make sure you know those promises,
00:22:21.396 --> 00:22:22.664
Place to begin is to make sure you know those promises, so that you can stand on them.
00:22:22.731 --> 00:22:25.700
You know those promises, so that you can stand on them. >> joyce: yeah.
00:22:25.767 --> 00:22:26.201
So that you can stand on them. >> joyce: yeah. and you know,
00:22:26.268 --> 00:22:26.668
>> joyce: yeah. and you know, i'm gonna tell you,
00:22:26.735 --> 00:22:27.436
And you know, i'm gonna tell you, it's not an overnight thing,
00:22:27.502 --> 00:22:28.303
I'm gonna tell you, it's not an overnight thing, but every time you take
00:22:28.370 --> 00:22:31.573
It's not an overnight thing, but every time you take opportunities to listen
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:33.175
But every time you take opportunities to listen to the word, like in the morning
00:22:33.241 --> 00:22:34.876
Opportunities to listen to the word, like in the morning sometimes when i'm putting
00:22:34.943 --> 00:22:36.077
To the word, like in the morning sometimes when i'm putting on my makeup and doing my hair,
00:22:36.144 --> 00:22:38.079
Sometimes when i'm putting on my makeup and doing my hair, i'll turn on a podcast
00:22:38.146 --> 00:22:39.681
On my makeup and doing my hair, i'll turn on a podcast or i'll listen to my own
00:22:39.748 --> 00:22:42.851
I'll turn on a podcast or i'll listen to my own program sometimes,
00:22:42.918 --> 00:22:43.852
Or i'll listen to my own program sometimes, i actually learn from
00:22:43.919 --> 00:22:44.886
Program sometimes, i actually learn from listening to myself.
00:22:44.953 --> 00:22:45.754
I actually learn from listening to myself. and there--
00:22:45.821 --> 00:22:48.690
Listening to myself. and there-- we have a lot of what i would
00:22:48.757 --> 00:22:50.125
And there-- we have a lot of what i would call wasted downtime, you know,
00:22:50.192 --> 00:22:54.429
